The Jews tried to extinguish this light by identifying the light of prophecy in the ancestors of the Prophet (PBUH) and matching it with the signs mentioned in the divine books.
1) Assassination of Hashim: Hazrat Hashim is the great-grandfather of the Prophet of Mecca, but his grave is in Gaza, Palestine! He left Mecca for trade to Sham and in Yathrib became the guest of the chief of one of the tribes settled in Medina, named Amr bin Zaid bin Labid Khazraj. Hashim married Amr's daughter, Salma. After the marriage, Hashim took his wife to Mecca. When Salma became pregnant, according to the conditions they had at the time of marriage, he returned her to her family in Yathrib to give birth and from there went to Syria to trade. When he left for the trip, he advised his wife that he might not return from this trip. God will give you a son, take care of him.
Hashim goes to Gaza and after finishing his work, on the same night on his return, he suddenly falls ill. He calls his companions and tells them to return to Mecca. When you reach Medina, greet my wife and advise her about my child who will be born to her and tell her that he is my greatest concern. So he asks for a pen and paper and writes a will, a major part of which is his advice to protect the child and longing to meet him.
Prophet Moses had informed the Jews of the arrival of the Holy Prophet (PBUH). They were aware of the appearance of his parents and lineage, and they had a treasure trove of information at their disposal, and they were masters in the science of facial recognition that they had learned from Moses and passed on to them from generation to generation. Therefore, Hashem was familiar to them in their faces and the Jews knew very well that the Prophet of the End Times was from his lineage. But their arrow hit the target late.
2) The murder of Abdul Muttalib: Hashem's son was born and raised in Medina and was named Shaybah. On Hashim's advice, his mother took care of him and it is interesting that the mother did not remarry.
One day, a man from Banu Abd Manaf who was going to Yathrib for business saw a child playing and calling himself Hashim's son. He asked him. He introduced himself and the man told this to Mataleb. Mataleb kidnapped the child and took him to Mecca. In another narration, he did this with his mother's consent.
When Mataleb and Shaybah returned, the Jews recognized them and attacked them, but they miraculously survived. When Mataleb brought him to Mecca, the people thought that he was Mataleb's slave, so they named him Abdul Muttalib and this name stuck to him.
3) Assassination of Abdullah: The Jew could not assassinate Abdul Muttalib and Abdullah was born to him. Abdullah is from Medina, but his grave is in Medina, in the Jewish quarter. The stories about him are more explicit and the Jews tried to assassinate him many times and failed.
One day, Wahb ibn Abd Manaf, a merchant in Mecca, saw Abdullah, who was then a young man of 25 years old, surrounded by Jews who wanted to kill him. Wahb was frightened and went among the Banu Hashim and shouted: Abdullah is surrounded by the enemies of the Prophet. Abdullah was miraculously saved. Wahb, who witnessed his miraculous salvation and saw the light of prophethood in his face, proposed to his daughter Amina and Abdullah, and this blessed marriage began.
It is narrated that the Jews sent a Jewish priest to become Abdullah's wife and to transfer the sperm of the Prophet of the End Times to this woman. So that woman met Abdullah every day on the way and proposed marriage to him, but the day after Abdullah married Amina, he did not propose again. Abdullah asked him why he did not repeat his previous statement this time? He said: The light that was in your forehead is no longer there. Abdullah was married (Ibn Shahr-e-Ahub, vol. 1, 26).
A few months after their marriage, while Amina was pregnant, Abdullah died in Medina on his way back from Syria (Al-Tabari, vol. 1, 598). The Jewish arrow missed its target for the second time and Abdullah died suspiciously in Yathrib, but this attempt could not be traced.
4) Attempt to assassinate the Prophet: It is narrated that on the night after the birth of the Prophet (PBUH), a Jewish scholar came to Dar al-Ndawa and said: Was a child born among you last night? They said: No. He said: Then a son named Ahmad must have been born in Palestine and the destruction of the Jews will be at his hands. After meeting, they inquired and found out that a son had been born to Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib.
The man was informed that a child had been born among us, and by God, it was a boy! The Jewish scholar asked them to take him to the child. They took him to the child, and he fainted until he saw the child, and when he came to his senses, he said: By God! A prophet has been taken from the Children of Israel until the Day of Judgment. This is the one who will destroy the Children of Israel. And when the Quraysh saw that they were happy about this news, he said: By God! May He do something to you that the people of the East and the West will remember.
Muhammad (PBUH) was recognized from the very first day of his birth. The arrows of the Jews to prevent his emergence went astray, and now they must eliminate Muhammad (PBUH) to achieve their goal.
